Description [+]
- Synonyms: CSP-3
- Species: Metazoa;Bilateria;Ecdysozoa;Nematoda; Caenorhabditis elegans
- Short gene description: csp-3 encodes a protein that is homologous to the C-terminal domain of caspase-like cysteine proteases. unlike other caspases, CSP-3 does not contain a middle or N-terminal domain, and thus may either function in concert with the middle domains of other caspases or may play a regulatory (dominant negative) role in caspase activation.

- Curator comment: This protein is highly homologous to Ced-3 and can inhibit its autoactivation
